Macroplat: innovation, efficiency and sustainability

In today's market, efficiency and sustainability in the packaging of palletized products is essential to ensure their safety and protection during transportation and storage. However, some products require adequate ventilation to maintain their quality and freshness. That is why, from Controlpack, we are pleased to present a unique stretch wrapper on the market, which enjoys a number of cutting-edge features that allow the combination of functionality, sustainability and savings through three optimal packaging types. Introducing the Macroplat.

Characteristics and process

A decade of improvements later, we find ourselves with a system that is optimal in all areas. The Macroplat benefits from a number of features that make the machine a world pioneer in its field. These include the ability to produce macro-perforated film from normal film.

Wait... How do you get it?

• First, the film must be threaded through the corresponding circuit depending on the result you want to obtain.
• Next, tie a knot with the film at the bottom of the pallet to be wrapped.
• Finally, adjust the parameters and perform the baling action.

Advantages

The Macroplat has been designed to get the most out of it at the user level, so that you can customize the wrapping process according to the needs of the product to be packaged. Its strengths to highlight are the following:

1. 

   Versatility in stretch wrapping: The main feature of the Macroplat stretch wrapper is the ability to produce macro-perforated and/or banded film from conventional stretch film.

4. Good ventilation: Excellent air circulation throughout the merchandise, keeping perishable products fresh and preventing the consequences of condensation - mold, rust, damage to labels... -.
5. Sustainability: By producing the macro-perforated film with our own just-in-time machine, we reduce our carbon footprint and energy consumption as it is not produced in large industries. On the other hand, we eliminate the consumption of strapping and corner pieces so that we avoid creating plastic and cardboard waste. And finally, we have the possibility of using biodegradable film, greatly reducing the amount of plastic that ends up in our seas and oceans.
